Hey im new here and have a couple of problems, Just picked up my Yj a couple weeks ago its also my first stick shift. When I stall occasionally and restart, the idle is way too high around 2200 rpm and stays there for about 20 seconds. Also my oil pressure gauge is reading off the meter but it does go down when the engine is off. Any ideas. Thanks,
Rob

Rob you could have a bad sending unit or gauge. Do a search on the forum and it will bring up a tone of info. As for you idle I beilieve your carbarated and could have a sticking coke or vacume leak not sure. One delt with a carb on my 90 long time ago and I pulled it off and went MPI.

It's not uncommon to see the oil pressure rise (my 4.0L pegs the gauge at idle when cold) at a really high idle, although I doubt the accuracy of the gauge due to the afore-mentioned sender unit's reputation. Replace it if you feel the need to, FWIW I haven't replaced mine yet...

As for the high idle on start up, start with checking for the vacuum leaks that bigredcherokee mentioned, and then thoroughly clean your throttle housing & idle control motor.
